Lecce president Saverio Sticchi Damiani has shared his delight at the progress the club has made under his stewardship as the Giallorossi prepare to begin their Serie A adventure tomorrow night against Inter.

“It doesn’t seem real, we are at least three years ahead of schedule,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“In the summer of 2015, when I began this adventure with my partners, we lost 3-1 at home against Andria in Serie C. Then in my first match as club president in December 2017, we won 1-0 against Monopoli.

“Two consecutive promotions later, we now have the satisfaction of being a club in Serie A. A year ago, in our first year in Serie B, we were aiming to get promoted in the next 3-5 years.”

He then spoke on tomorrow night’s opener away to the much more fancied Inter.

“We have nothing to lose. Conte is perhaps the best coach in the world and Inter have exceptional players; one of them costs as much as our entire squad.”

Dalbert has decided to accept the offer on the table to join fellow Serie A side Fiorentina as part of a swap deal that will see Cristiano Biraghi head to Inter according to a report from Tuttosport.

The Brazilian defender initially seemed unconvinced about joining La Viola with him reportedly favouring a return to France, where former employers Nice had shown an interest, as had Lyon and Marseille.

With Dalbert giving the go-ahead, the move can now progress and should be completed in the not too distant future.

When Biraghi arrives, Inter’s defensive department can be considered complete and Conte will then have two players each for each wing back position.

On the left he will have Biraghi and Kwadwo Asamoah and on the right he will have Antonio Candreva and Valentino Lazaro.

The report goes on to state that Federico Dimarco is also likely to be on his way out of the club. The Italian youth international will more than likely leave the club in a loan with option to buy deal before the window closes.

Nicola Ventola has shared his hopes for a resolution to the seemingly never ending Mauro Icardi saga at Inter.

Last season saw the relationship between the club and Icardi breakdown entirely due to several off-field problems and earlier this Summer he was told he was no longer considered as part of the club’s project.

Despite this, Icardi still remains with the club with the end of the transfer window in sight and he reportedly wants to remain with the club even though he is unlikely to ever player for the club again.

“He will certainly make the best choice for himself,” former Inter striker Ventola began an interview with RTV.

“It is a problem that needs to be solved at the root and it would be a pity if it had to be solved through legal channels.

“He is young and he has to play. I hope everything ends up for the best.”

Icardi has drawn links to both Napoli and Juventus and Ventola concluded by sharing where he hopes the 26-year-old ends up.

“Napoli or Juve? Icardi is a good player, I hope he goes abroad at this point.”

Inter are closing in on the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Manchester United and could complete the signing tomorrow, ahead of the season opener against Lecce according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Chilean international is set to arrive at Inter in a loan with option to buy deal but the two clubs must settle how much of his wages each of them will be paying.

Inter are presently only offering to pay around €4 million and it is understood that United are holding out for a little more to be paid.

Sanchez was omitted from United’s squad for the third straight game yesterday and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed post-match that the 30-year-old could leave.

The report from the Milan newspaper also touches upon the proposed swap deal between Inter and Fiorentina involving Dalbert and Cristiano Biraghi.

Dalbert met with Fiorentina officials a few days ago and did not give the go-ahead to the move but things appear to have changed and the deal would appear to be on the home straight.

Mauro Icardi will not be part of Inter’s matchday squad for tomorrow night’s 2019/20 Serie A season opener at home to newly promoted Lecce according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

Icardi’s looming exclusion should not come as any real surprise to anyone given he was told in no uncertain terms by Inter’s management that he is no longer considered as part of the club’s project.

He will also more than likely be omitted from the squad for the game against Cagliari too.

The 26-year-old looked set to leave the club over the Summer but no move has transpired and he and his controversial wife, and agent, Wanda Icardi seem intent on remaining in Milan now.

Napoli are Icardi’s only option to leave at the moment and they are expecting a response from him and his management in the coming days as to whether he wants to move to the Stadio San Paolo or not.

Icardi has reportedly been holding out for a move to Inter’s arch-rivals Juventus but the Bianconeri have made no attempt whatsoever to sign him.

Inter could close the much anticipated deal with Manchester United over attacker Alexis Sanchez tomorrow according to a report from Corriere dello Sport.

The two clubs have already agreed terms over the transfer formula which will see the Chilean join the Nerazzurri on loan with an option to buy.

The clubs are still however in talks over how to split his huge wages. Inter cannot afford the entirety of the 30-year-olds pay packet so Manchester United will be paying a significant amount.

Inter initially offered to pay €3.5 million, which would cover two months of his wages but have since raised their offer to €4.5 million.

United however are understood to be holding out for €6 million to be paid by Inter but the Rome based news outlet state that the clubs could reach an agreement somewhere between €5-5.5 million.

The report has also provided an update on the potential swap deal between Inter and Fiorentina involving Dalbert and Cristiano Biraghi.

The former is expected to give the go-ahead to the move just shortly, despite the fact Lyon and Marseille are seemingly back in for him which would allow him to return to France.

Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Prade has confirmed that La Viola like Inter defender Dalbert, who they look set to acquire in a swap deal that would see Cristiano Biraghi head in the opposite direction as per many reports currently doing the rounds.

The two clubs have been in talks over a loan exchange with both loans more than likely to have options to buy attached to them.

“Let’s see what we will do with Biraghi, Dalbert is a player that we like but he should want to come here too,” Prade stated in an interview with broadcaster Sky Sport.

“This will be a week full of developments in the transfer window for us. There are some important days ahead of us and we will have to be ready for what they bring.

“At the moment our priority is dealing with the left-hand side. We need another defender and another winger because we only have three at the moment in Franck Ribery, Riccardo Sottil and Federico Chiesa, we need a fourth.”
